We have talked a lot about where we hold toxins in our body and where we can be exposed, but I want to give you some ways to avoid exposure as much as possible. It is as easy as knowing what foods to choose when we go to the store and what to limit or avoid all together.

Now, it seems that this list changes from year to year sometimes because things have improved and sometimes because it may have gotten worse. The list that follows are, as of March of last year, the cleanest and dirtiest produce based on the number of pesticides found in them. This list was compiled using data from the USDA’s Pesticide Data Program.

The Dirty Dozen: foods to limit or avoid all together. This list makes me sad but remember, choose organic options and you can have them with little concern!
